Gold at 1 p. m. 112 Bfxck or War at Pionirr, Some time last spring, Mr. J, H. Luther of this place, purchased a vacant bouse at Pioneer, of one Wm. Haines, a colored wan, intending to tear it down and remove It for tbe purpose of using It as an addition to bis machine shop on the Funkville Flats, Tbe building remained undisturbed until last. Friday, wnen Mr. u. reoeived news that one Gard Bar, purporting to be the Superintendent of the People's Petroleum Company, had en gaged a man named Glsss to tear down and remove tba building and bad already com mesosd tba work ol demolishing tbe tene meal To muster bis forces and prepare his forces for deadly conflict wa but the work f a Aorl time for Capt. Luther, and tbe word of command being given tbe army ad vanced across Funkville Flats, forded Oil Creek near tba Pioneer railroad bridge, and by forced marches advanoed on tbe enemy's works, surprised and captured tbem with out bloodshed. Gardner puffed and blowed Ilka a porpoise, and with dire threats of war to the knlfa and an otter refusal to "shake bands across tba bloody chasm," mounted bis noble steed and "flew on the wings of the wind" to Justice Reynolds fur redress. With that calm tcbolarllke dignity forwbiob he It noted, Justice Reynolds Issued a capi at for tbs arrest of Capt. Lutber and party. At a good law-abiding citizen tbonld do, Capt. Lather was promptly on band and gave ball for tba appearance of himself and men to answer, in tba meantime. Gardner aasuraed the role of Bombastes Furisio 'Whoever darea these boots displsoe, Shall meet Bombastes hoe to face." Appeared on the battle field, served tbs ca pias on ine turner party, and without wait. log for the law to take lu ,,,, undertook to tarow me miner party off Br.ml-. bat made a mistake miA n - - - - --- -- an uoeeagalnat "uunoo u uvea -.oactea up bv a BUhi.. lets' moaole aucb ae Lutber le known to pos ess.

On Saturday the case came before Justice Reynolds for trial, and after a hearing In tbeoase, resulted in the defeat of Gardner, who it appears bad no right whatever to sell property that did not belong to him, as it appears tie bad been doing, a building belonging to Goo. W. King, Sr., of this place, having been eervtd the same way by nlm as Superintendent of the P. P. Compa ny, when it appears the McElbeny Farm Company are the only parties wbo'have auy authority lu the matter. And thus eulcd the war at Pioneer. The next time Bombastes wake, up a sleeper, it will not be of Hie genus Yankee, of wbicb our good friend Luther atroogly partakes.

To this tbe Capt. of tbe Petrollas made answer that one of tbe players was absen1 from town aud another one sick, but would play them Friday. Tbe lollowing answer was made, which to tbe uninitiated would seem little on tbe "bluff" order of things: Frauklin, Sept. 2. Capt. Petrolla U. B. C. : Too Ibin. To-morrow or next year. Capt. Oil Stockings. Tbe Petrollas are not to be bluffed, and desire us to state that tne game will coma off to-morrow afternoon without fall, wiud and weatber permitting. "May lbs beat man win."
